For people that don't know this is not how you use Calipers
You're viewing a single thread.
Showed this pic to my co workers (steelworkers/blacksmiths) and only the old guys knew what was funny about the pic... Gen z think that calipers are toy guns.....
I use calipers frequently and didn't realize it was upsidedown until reading this.
I thought it was a joke about clients always sending shitty low resolution pictures where you can't actually verify their claim.
Oh, I thought the joke was that the hole the customer was complaining about was the hole this pipe was supposed to fit into, and that they were measuring the inner diameter rather than the outer.
The joke is they're supposed to use the end with the spiky bits to measure the inner diameter of the pipe. It's even more baffling they're using a mechanical readout when a digital display would be easier to measure with IMO.
I dunno, a lot of gen z and millennials probably use them when fabricating parts for things that you can't get them for. I know I do for my printer.
Well.. im an old millennial and know what it is and how to use it properly...
I feel like a boomer/millenial trapped in a young body when I read stuff like this 😭
I ... Think this is everyone's dream.
How do gen z-ers measure distances finely, then?
Realistically, how many people need calipers in their life? The vast majority never used one because a ruler or tape is enough for pretty much anything in a house.
It's written on the label/signs where we bought it from.
